Answer» Solution :Use and throwaway plastics cause short and long TIME ENVIRONMENTAL damage. These items like plastic carry bags, straws, plates, SPOONS, pouches, etc., take a few seconds to be made in a FACTORY, but can stay in the environment forever a 1000 years. These items block drains and pollute water bodies. These plastics break down into PIECES that are smaller than 5 mm in diameter. These microplastics pollute the ocean and harm the marine life, who mistake them as their food. These one time use plastics when disposed carelessly are carried to the ocean by winds, cause harm to marine life and are brought back to the shore by waves. |
